Description

Savant Elite2 Control Module only - Available in a 2 or 4 mini-phono jack
version. The Savant Elite2 (SE2). Control Modules are ideal for user’s who
want to activate mouse clicks or offload two to four keying tasks. The new
driverless programming makes it quick and easy to change the module to
perform keyboard actions and productivity-enhancing macros.

SmartSet driverless programming technology - The SE2 features Kinesis’
SmartSet technology which provides driverless programming of the SE2 device.
Programming the SE2 can be accomplished in one of two ways: 1) utilizing the
SE2 SmartSet App; or 2) using any text editor to type a new pedal action and
saving to the virtual disk drive. No drivers are required, whether you are
using Windows, Mac OS X, Android, Linux, or Chrome.

Programming using the SE2 SmartSet for Windows & Mac - The simplest and
easiest means of programming the Savant Elite2 is by using the SE2 SmartSet
App. The SE2 SmartSet App is a graphical user interface that allows you to
easily assign any key action, macro or special action such as a double left
mouse click to a foot pedal or jack. Available in both Windows and Mac
versions, the SE2 SmartSet App comes pre-loaded on all new SE2 devices or
can be downloaded from the Savant Elite2 Resources Page section of our
website.

Programming with a Text Editor (Non Windows & Mac OS’s) - For all other
operating systems the SE2 is programmed by editing the pedals.txt file located
on the virtual removable disk drive named KINESIS FP. The SE2’s unique
driverless all-platform programmability is based on a virtual removable disk. In
the KINESIS FP drive resides a tiny simple-text file (pedals.txt) which defines
the actions of up to 3 pedals and 4 input jacks covering all the various
configurations of SE2 devices. Virtually any text editing program can be used to
edit the pedal/jack assignments and then re-save the file as “plain text” or
“simple text.” Backup files can be stored with different names and in different
locations. Only the file named “pedals.txt” located in the “active” folder in
the KINESIS FP drive is used to assign the actions.

Program any key action, macro or special actions. Re-programmable on any
computer or tablet with a USB port to perform keyboard actions, macros, or
special actions such as mouse clicks.

Recessed programming switch accessible from underside of unit. Programming
Mode also accessible by holding a pedal briefly while connecting USB cable to
open virtual removable disk.

External green and red status LEDs.

Single pedal and hand trigger sold separately.

Specifications

Compatible operating systems

Savant Elite2 uses generic HID (human interface device) drivers
provided by the operating system. It can be operated and
programmed without any special drivers in most environments
supporting USB devices, including the following operating
systems with an available USB port

Windows

Mac OS X 10.4 & newer

Linux

Android

Chrome

SE2 SmartSet App

Windows 7, 8 & 10

Mac OS X 10.4 & newer (not compatible with Sierra. See
Note)

Either version can be downloaded from the Savant Elite2
Resources Page

NOTE

The SE2 SmartSet App is not currently compatible with
Mac’s running Sierra. We will have an update in the future. In
the meantime, users who want to program have three options: 1)
use a different OS to program; 2) direct edit the text file;
and/or 3) email Kinesis Technical Support with actions that
you would like programmed and they will send you a text file.

In Play Mode the Savant Elite2 emulates a generic
keyboard and mouse. In Programming Mode it emulates a generic
keyboard and removable disk. Programming Mode requires generic
OS support for a removable disk, plus a text editing program
or app that can edit and save a file as “plain text” or
“simple text.” Most word processing and text editing programs
have this capability.

Macintosh OS X notes

OS X doesn’t support middle mouse button without using a
third party driver such as that found at www.usboverdrive.com.
Also, modifier actions from one USB device cannot modify the
input of a second USB device due to limitations designed into
the Apple operating system

Example

Shift, Control, Command, or Option keystrokes programmed into
the foot pedal cannot modify the input of a separate USB
keyboard or mouse. However, a key sequence like ‘Cmd-W’ or
‘Cmd-Shift-left arrow’ will work on a Macintosh if the entire
sequence of keystrokes has been programmed into the foot pedal
